I like CyberGrab myself.

After lauching it you hold down the LEFT Amiga key and tap on the M key to quickly toggle to the open screen that you want grabbed. To grab your Workbench screen you can add CyberGrab to something like a ToolsDaemon menu, so as not to take a grab  with the prog itself showning in it OR you can just launch CyberGrab then quickly close its window. You've got about 3 seconds before the grab 'Save' window appears :-)

I don't think it would work with an AGA screen.


Here's one I prepared earlier :-D



It was taken using CyberGrab in an A1200 Desktop *without* a GFX card. The capture was ILBM which I then loaded ino PPaint7 and saved as PNG with maximum compression.

The SGrab suggested by Moto does have more functions, so good luck in whichever you choose to use :pint:

Hi moto,

It could be the case that it wasn't really meant to work in an A1200 Desktop, but I just tried it anyway and it did mate :-)
